In the 1940s, psychiatry’s leaders proclaimed their intention to infiltrate the field of education and the law and bring about the “re-interpretation and eventually eradication of the concept of right and wrong.” G. Brock Chisholm and British psychiatrist John Rawlings Rees, co-founders of the World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH), bluntly told their peers at the time:
“If the race is to be freed from the crippling burden of good and evil it must be psychiatrists who take the original responsibility.”
Governments were eager to implement new ideas and ideologies of the “new psychology” as society recovered from the devastation of war.
The attempt to undermine morals and consequently the deterioration of society and the family unit can be traced back to the influence of psychiatry in these different fields.
In its formative years, WFMH conferences were held in London in 1940 and 1945 where the leaders eagerly laid out their goals and objectives. Rees proclaimed:
“We can therefore justifiably stress our particular point of view with regard to the proper development of the human psyche, even though our knowledge be incomplete. We must aim to make it permeate every educational activity in our national life…. We have made a useful attack upon a number of professions. The two easiest of them naturally are the teaching profession and the Church: the two most difficult are law and medicine.”
Dr. John Rawlings Rees, “Strategic Planning for Mental Health”, June 18, 1940
Canadian Psychiatrist G. Brock Chisholm, President of the WFMH in 1945 proclaimed:
“The re-interpretation and eventually (sic) eradication of the concept of right and wrong which has been the basis of child training, the substitution of intelligent and rational thinking for faith… are the belated objectives of practically all effective psychotherapy. The fact is, that most psychiatrists and psychologists and other respectable people have escaped from these moral chains and are able to observe and think freely.”
Dr. G. Brock Chisholm, 1945
A year later Chisholm wrote again about the eradication of right and wrong conduct, “…the pretense is made, as it has been made in relation to the finding of any extension of truth, that to do away with right and wrong would produce uncivilized people, immorality, lawlessness and social chaos. The fact is that most psychiatrists and psychologists and other respected people have escaped from moral chains and are able to think freely.”
Dr. G. Brock Chisholm in: Psychiatry: Journal of Biology and Pathology of Interpersonal Relations 9, no. 1, February 1946
These were not empty statements at the time but the verbalisation of a long-term goal and strategy that laid the foundation for educational and social modalities that have since become deeply rooted in our society and which directly affect us today. Undermining traditional concepts of morals and the eradication of ‘right and wrong’ have gradually and deviously found their way into our educational and social system over the last 60 years.

Ironic but still spot on.
